(27 Jun 2022, 9:45 am)Aaron21 Saw a Facebook post a few days confirming that the K2 will return. Only put it in here as GCT ran it previously. If true then it might stay with GCT but could go to GNEGCT - with the March, May and now July changes GCT have lost a lot of work (contract losses, services withdrawn)

(27 Jun 2022, 5:40 pm)Unber43 GCT must waste so much money on driver transfers, do the drivers just take their bus back to the depot, and the new drivers brings a new one?

(27 Jun 2022, 6:23 pm)Dan It would be interesting to compare their pre-March 2022 PVR to their new PVR from 24 July. Even if they do win the K2 (which they are likely to, but Phoenix could be competitive!) then I still think it must be a significant reduction.

Are taxibuses full disability accessible?
Just asking as if the TB14 is operating Kibblesworth to Birtley/Barley Mow there will be a few passengers for the doctors surgery from Kibblesworth. Most of these passengers have those 'walkers on wheels' but I'm gathering there isn't much storage. Don't think I've ever seen a taxibus driver open a boot to get walkers etc in.
